The CMS choice determines years of efficiency, cost and time-to-market. Here you will find our articles on Sanity, Payload, headless architectures and website platforms like Webflow or Framer – including TCO calculations, migration guides and the selection methodology from our independent CMS consulting. We sell no licenses; we compare honestly.
Sanity charges per seat ($15 on the Growth plan), stores data in the EU by default, and gives you an open-source Studio in your own repository. Contentful starts at a flat $300, is strong on governance and click-based modeling, but requires the Premium contract for EU data residency. For mid-market teams with three to ten editors, Sanity usually wins: cheaper, more flexible, more open.

A sluggish backend, a plugin zoo, update anxiety: if that sounds like your WordPress site, you still don't have to risk a big bang relaunch. I'll walk you through the migration to Sanity in five stages: content audit, content model, export and NDJSON import, parallel operation behind Next.js, redirects. With official tooling, honest effort ranges from my projects, and the cases where WordPress gets to stay.

Product data belongs in the ERP or PIM, editorial content in Sanity: every data type gets exactly one leading system. Three patterns cover the connection: webhook push via the mutation API, pull at build or request time, and references to external IDs. Prices stay out, and field ownership plus a status instead of deletion spare you the typical sync accidents.

Shop systems sell well and tell stories badly: guides, brand story and campaign pages need a home of their own. Sanity provides it as a content layer next to Shopify or Medusa: content references products instead of copying them, GROQ queries both together, Next.js renders the page. When the setup pays off and when it is oversized: that is what you will read here.

Headless WordPress keeps WordPress purely as a content backend: your editors stay in the familiar wp-admin, while a Next.js frontend handles delivery via the REST API or WPGraphQL. You gain security, performance and multichannel publishing; your marketing gets faster pages and clean technical SEO. The price is two systems in operation. Here I weigh both sides honestly.

Framer turns design drafts into published websites – faster than any classic setup. The decision-maker view: what Framer replaces, where its design-tool heritage draws limits, and how GDPR, export and CMS depth stack up.

Webflow promises agency quality without a development team: visual builder, CMS and hosting in one. The honest decision-maker view: what Webflow replaces and where the limits are – GDPR, lock-in, localisation.

Framer or WordPress? Work through the 10 questions honestly: multiple editors, growth, multilingual content, a shop, data protection and independence all point to WordPress. If design comes first and your content stays manageable, Framer is the legitimate, often faster choice.
